Elite Luxe Hydration
Elite Luxe Hydration
Elite Lux Hydration is a superior blend of growth factor, peptides, antioxidants, and a unique “cellular-support” complex that gives skin the ultimate rejuvenation cream. It contains rh-Oligopeptide-1 (Epidermal Growth Factor - EGF) which plays an important role in skin cell growth, proliferation and differentiation for purposes of healing. The optimum finish to these resurfacing protocols comes from introducing growth factors to gently induce cell regrowth. It has been historically used on burn wounds to initiate more rapid healing.
Elite Lux Hydration contains a small peptide with a unique sequence which mimics the human body’s own mechanism to produce collagen via TGF-b (tissue growth factor). Thrombospondin 1 (TSP) is a multifunctional protein that activates the TGF-b – the key element in the synthesis of collagen and binds to a particular sequence in the TSP molecule known as ARG-PHE-LYS. Use of this ingredient over a 6-month period (versus a placebo) gave an improvement of 350% fewer wrinkles and enhanced firming and hydration.
This formula is enhanced with three additional ingredients referred to as the eEGF complex (Enhanced Epidermal Growth Factor): urea glycolysates, DHEA and pyroglutamic acid.
FOCUS INGREDIENTS
Dimethylacrylamide / Acrylic Acid / Polystyrene Ethyl Methacrylate Copolymer – A complex using copolymer technology for dermal active delivery and enhanced moisturization.
Lycium Barbarum (Goji Berry) Extract – Contains 19 amino acids (8 of which are essential acids), B vitamins, high concentrations of beta-carotene, and rich in polysaccharides; provides antioxidant support, stimulates the production of age-reducing hormones and growth factors, improves detoxification and stimulates collagen activity.
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 – Glycoconjugates from goji berry (recognized as a major antioxidant) with a lipid-delivery system to penetrate deeply into skin; ingredient complex that uses multiple pathways — collagen biosynthesis, fibroblast proliferation, and matrix metalloproteinase inhibition; wrinkle reduction and improved skin elasticity and strength.
Gluconolactone – Polyhydroxy acid that is highly moisturizing and antioxidant.
rh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) – Provides proliferative effects on cells, particularly keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Promotes healing and tissue regeneration.
Prasterone (DHEA) – Hormone that is a precursor to estrogen as well as other hormones; produced from cholesterol by the adrenal glands, gonads, adipose tissue, brain and skin. Boosts and supports the EGF in stimulating cell renewal.
Glucosamine HCI – Natural source from shellfish; reduces inflammation.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract – Yeast extract; complexed with EGF possessing nutritional growth factor supporting ingredients.
Urea – From marine sources rich in low molecular weight polysaccharides and glycosamino glycans; complexed with urea (also produced via biotech methods to mirror the natural). Activates both epidermal and dermal cells, as well as increase production of hyaluronic acid and collagen.
